Scanner Class ioException() method

• ioException() method is available in java.util package.
• ioException() method is used to get the IOException when it is thrown by Scanner Readable otherwise it returns null.
• ioException() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.

Syntax:

    public IOException ioException();

Parameter(s):

• It does not accept any parameter.

Return value:

The return type of the method is IOException, it returns IOException when it is thrown by this Scanner Readable otherwise it returns null.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of IOException ioException() method of Scanner 

import java.util.*;

public class IOExceptionOfScanner {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "Hi, [IncludeHelp] +\n 10.0 true ";

        // Instantiates a Scanner object with
        // the given string str
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(str);

        // Display str
        System.out.println("sc.nextLine(): " + sc.nextLine());

        // By using ioException() method is
        // to return an IOException if possible
        System.out.println("sc.ioException(): " + sc.ioException());

        // By using close() method is to 
        // close the Scanner object
        sc.close();
    }
}

sc.ioException(): null
